Rule and source watchlist
RealEstateTools.ca only hardcodes rates after they are modeled in the versioned rule layer. Everything else is shown as estimate-only or needs-review.
Property transfer tax
Government of British Columbia
BC property transfer tax is modeled in the current rule layer. Exemptions and additional taxes still need expanded rule coverage.
Mortgage insurance and housing data
CMHC
Used for federal mortgage and housing context where specific rule objects exist.
Mortgage qualifying rules
OSFI
Stress-test source metadata is handled federally, then surfaced on province pages.
Interest rate context
Bank of Canada
Rate context is informational. User-entered rates still drive calculators.
Estimate discipline
BC tools show confidence and source status so users know whether a result is source-backed, partially modeled, or assumption-driven.
Are the BC calculators official legal or lending advice?
No. They are educational estimates. Source-backed rules are shown where available, and users should confirm tax, legal, lending, title, insurance, and accounting details with qualified professionals.
Which BC calculator should I start with?
Buyers should start with affordability, monthly ownership cost, and cash-to-close. Sellers should start with the seller net sheet. Investors should start with rental cash flow and due diligence tools.
Why do some BC tools show lower confidence?
Confidence is lower when a rule has not yet been modeled from an official source or when the result depends mostly on user-entered assumptions such as legal fees, utilities, insurance, repairs, and local taxes.
